It is a rollicking tour de force through an England on the brink of the Victorian era. Reform of government, justice and commercial life are imminent, as are rail travel, social convulsion and the death of deference, but Pickwick sails through on a tide of delirious adventure, fortifying us for the future — whatever it might throw at us.This Macmillan Collector’s Library edition is illustrated by H.

Even in his first successful work, The Pickwick Papers, you will find five ghost stories, all of which are included in this collection. Dickens began the tradition of `the ghost story at Christmas`, and many of his tales in this genre are presented here, including the brilliant novella `The Haunted Man and the Ghost`s Bargain`, which deserves to be as well-known as A Christmas Carol.While all his supernatural tales aim to send a shiver down the spine, they are not without the usual traits of Dickens` flamboyant style: his subtle wit, biting irony, humorous incidents and moral observations. It is a mixture that makes these stories fascinating and entertaining as well as unsettling.
